Chevrolet 60th Anniversary Cunningham C8 Corvette

The American automotive engineering company specializing in high-performance automotive modifications, Lingenfelter Performance Engineering, has introduced a limited edition Chevrolet C8 Corvette, the 60th Anniversary Cunningham C8 Corvette.

After more than half a century of existence, many consider the Chevrolet Corvette a main sports car. The eighth generation of this extremely popular vehicle is currently on offer.

On the occasion of 60 years of existence, Lingenfelter Performance Engineering has produced a limited edition of this sports car. It was named after Briggs Cunningham, a C1 Corvette driver at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in the 1960s.

The upgrade package includes a larger carbon fiber intake manifold, front splitter, improved suspension on Performance Street / Track settings, side fenders and a rear spoiler. The C8 Corvette is powered by a 6.2-liter V8 engine with more than 600 hp.

For safe braking and stopping, there are Alcon / RB Performance brakes. The C8 Corvette uses 20/21 inch HRE forged alloy wheels with Michelin pilot Sport 4S tires.

Chevrolet has been struggling for a long time by preventing tuners from working on their cars. Still, some have managed to improve the performance of the C8 Corvette. Only 60 copies will be produced and each will be numbered. Each customer will have to pay a $ 5,000 reservation, and the price of one unit is $ 160,000.
